The time is upon us again. This year's competition is bigger and better than ever. So, without further delay:
2010 Passion Competition
Rules and Guidelines
Passion is a concept that has been used in philosophy. It is different from the current popular connotation of passion which is associated with notions of romance and which is generally seen as a positive and good emotion. The philosophical notation, in contrast, is identified with an innate or biologically driven emotional states such as anger, greed, lust or the other deadly sins.
The Seven Deadly Sins
1. Lust is usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature.
2. Gluttony is generally thought of as over-indulgence or over- consumption to the point of waste. Most commonly associated with food.
3. Greed is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power.
4. Sloth can be classified as laziness or the failure to utilize one’s talents and gifts.
5. Wrath may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and vigilantism.
6. Envy, although similar to lust, is largely associated with material goods. Those who commit this sin resent that another person has something they perceive themselves as lacking, and wish the other to be deprived of it.
7. Pride, considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self.
The task at hand will be to make a film using two (2) or more of the Seven Deadly Sins.
